ohh brother here we go. once you start writing fanfiction there’s no going back 😔

*sigh* anyways here’s part one

“Sophie. It’s over.”

Sophie opened her eyes, waiting for her vision to clear. Keefe was crouching in front of her, looking her over with concern. The rest of the group were scattered around, pacing or sitting on the ground or staring off into space. 

“What—“ Sophie began. 

“We did it,” Keefe said. “We defeated the Neverseen. It’s over.”

Sophie stood up shakily, unaware of when she had fallen down. Everyone looked okay, albeit a bit beat up. Ogre bodies littered the ground, and the bodyguards were clearly trying not to look at them. Sophie averted her eyes too. 

“What about your mom?” she asked Keefe. He winced. 

“She— she’s over there.” He pointed behind Sophie, and she turned around. 

There was Gisela, lying on the ground, her chest rising and falling shallowly. Ro was standing over her, keeping a close eye on her. But Gisela clearly wasn’t going anywhere. 

Sophie walked slowly over to her. Gisela coughed a bit, turning to face Sophie. Despite how weak and battered she was, she grinned at Sophie. 

“So the moonlark has finally decided to finish the job. It took you long enough, you know. I’m sure you’re feeling great that you’ve finally defeated me. I’m sure you’re itching to lock me away for a million years. But my son’s legacy will be completed, no matter how hard you try to stop me.” 

Sophie just stared at her, stone-cold. This seemed to unsettle Gisela, and her smile faltered for just a second, but she plastered it back on and continued. 

“No bodyguards coming over to protect you, huh? They certainly have a lot of faith in you. Really, it’s good that they’re starting to trust you—because they’ll never be able to protect you. Not from what truly matters. Stellarlune is forever. I’ve escaped before, and I’ll escape again. You can throw me in Exile and try to shatter my mind until there’s not a whisper of me left, but I’ll keep holding on. The wheels will keep turning. No matter what you do to try and stop me, this will never end until I get what I want.”

Sophie took a deep, steadying breath, knowing what she had to do. “You know, you’re talking so much about escaping. As if we’re going to lock you away somewhere. As if we’re going to make the same mistakes again. But that’s not how this ends. This ends right here, right now.”

And with that, she drove Hope straight into Gisela’s chest. 

For the first time, Sophie saw true fear in Gisela’s eyes. She tried to choke out some last words, probably something intended to be haunting and memorable, but the life drained from her before she could get the words out. 

It took all of Sophie’s strength not to collapse, to let the roaring in her ears wash over her, but she managed to walk away towards the group. None of them had been looking in her direction, but they all knew. Keefe sat in the middle of them, shaking. He looked up at Sophie. 

“It’s over,” he said. It wasn’t a question. Sophie nodded. He closed his eyes, took a deep, shaky breath, then nodded. “Good. It has to be this way. I’m just glad…”

Sophie didn’t need to be a Telepath to know where he was going with that. I’m just glad it didn’t have to be me. 

~~~

The group returned home to chaos. Fitz had briefly hailed Alden before Sophie teleported them back to Havenfield. The parents, Elwin, Livvy, the Black Swan, and all twelve Councillors were waiting for them, and as soon as they crashed through the void, they rushed them. 

Sophie just stood there as kids ran into their parents’ arms, as Elwin and Livvy checked them for injuries, as Grady and Edaline wrapped her in a big hug and broke down into tears. She couldn’t hear, couldn’t think, couldn’t move. She was aware of her surroundings as if they were happening to someone else, as if she was watching from the back of her mind. And there was a roaring in her ear, like the winds of a hurricane. It was drowning out the sounds around her, and it was only getting louder.

After everyone finally settled down a bit and the kids had told everyone what had happened, attention turned towards Sophie. She was sitting in the corner, unmoving. 

“Sophie?” Edaline asked tentatively. “Are you okay?” 

Sophie looked up at them. She tried to respond, to scream that NO, NO SHE WASN’T OKAY, SHE HAD JUST TAKEN HUMAN LIFE. NOTHING WOULD EVER BE OKAY AGAIN. But there was a thick wall keeping her words from coming out. It felt kind of like when Keefe had accidentally numbed her—she was aware of the emotions she should be experiencing, but they weren’t happening. She was feeling everything and yet nothing at all.

Everyone looked at her with concern. Elwin walked over to her, crouching down next to her. “Sophie? What’s wrong? How can we help?”

She wanted to respond, but she couldn’t. The roaring in her ears had only gotten louder. She could barely hear Elwin talking. So she just stared at him dully.

“Someone needs to check her mind now,” Bronte barked. Fitz scrambled to his feet and rushed over to her. He put his hands on her temples. Sophie could feel him rooting around in her brain, and it was making her head hurt, but she was too tired to stop him. His brow furrowed as he exited her mind. 

“Well, it’s definitely not normal in there, but I don’t think she’s broken,” he said. “I think she’s just in distress. Or in shock, or something. It’s probably fine.”

Everyone seemed satisfied with this and continued what they had been doing, except for Edaline, Grady and Keefe. Keefe walked over to her and sat next to her. 

“So… that was pretty heavy, huh,” he said to her. She didn’t even turn to look at him, which clearly worried him. “Sophie, are you okay?”

Again, she didn’t respond. She couldn’t. She could barely hear him. It was like he was talking underwater, or in the middle of a huge storm. She buried her head in her knees and plugged her ears, begging the noise to stop, but it only got louder. 

She felt a hand on her shoulder, then her hand in his. She could feel him send her a green breeze, but it hit her brain and twisted into something sharp. It shredded her brain, and she yelped and pulled her hand away, clawing at her scalp. It hurt. She knew this wasn’t how it was supposed to be, and that freaked her out even more. 

Keefe was staring at her with horror. “I’m sorry! I don’t know what I did!” She saw his hands shaking, and she wanted to reach out and steady them, but there were shards of glass in her brain and they hurt like hell and she needed them out. Besides, her hands were shaking too.

Grady and Edaline rushed over and helped Sophie to her feet. “I think Sophie needs to lay down,” Edaline said calmly, though her voice was shaky. “Why don’t I take her upstairs and we can reconvene tomorrow?” 

Keefe was still looking at her with fear in his eyes. She wished she could reassure him—he was probably having the worst night of his life, and she was only making it worse—but she was too far gone. She could only hope to make it to her room at this point. Sophie looked at the ground as she made her way up the stairs, guided by Grady and Edaline, but she could feel everyone’s eyes on her. 

When Sophie got to her room, she sank onto the edge of her bed, clutching at the sheets. Grady and Edaline stared at her worriedly. 

“Things will be better in the morning, Sophie,” Edaline reassured her. “Get some sleep, okay?”

She didn’t move. Edaline bit her lip, then closed the door. Sophie could hear them talking to Sandor outside her room. He reassured them about something, then they went downstairs. 

As soon as she couldn’t hear the footsteps anymore, Sophie collapsed to the floor. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could hold on. The roaring built and built, until she couldn’t hear anything else. She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and finally let the chaos swirling around her mind wash over her. 

heyyyyy so the brainrot is getting to me 😊✌️✨ does anyone want me to post my three-part fanfic of Sophie’s mind shattering?

[httyd-art-requests]

Hellooo!! I saw a drawing come across my dash recently by you that I believe was original art with your ocs?? I’m a big sucker for httyd ocs and I was wondering, how many do you have? Would you be willing to talk about them maybe??

YIPPEE I love talking about my OCs!! Thank you for the interest, I'm more than willing to talk about my little guys and gals <3 It's probably going to get long, sooo...

OC lore and art under the ominously placed readmore button. smile

Dreamer

The pair you (probably) saw the art of are my self insert, Dreamer, and his Deathgripper companion Draugr. Dreamer is a scholar and healer's apprentice who arrives on New Berk to study dragons in order to better heal them... except he's also terrified of them. Draugr is one of Grimmel's former Deathgripper minions who was stranded on New Berk after the events of (my alternate version of) THW. Dreamer nurses him back to health, and in return he helps Dreamer get over his fear of dragons.

Dreamer also has 2 Terrible Terror buddies, and they're also the ones who deliver all your asks to me :) They're called Terror Mail for a reason, hehe

Light Furies

I have a pair of female Light Fury OC named Eclipse and Sunny, who are a mated pair. Eclipse is melanistic and a menace to humans and dragons alike, and Sunny is the only dragon she likes having around her. Grumpy one × Sunshine one.

Eclipse was gravely injured in a fight to defend her territory from another dragon, and would have perished had Sunny not stumbled upon her. Sunny, a young female who recently left her flock to establish her own, refused to leave a fellow Light Fury to her fate- no matter how much of a hassle she insisted on being. And thus, Sunny slowly carved out a place for herself in Eclipse's cold, cold heart, and two of them remained by eachother's sides ever since.

I plan on redrawing them sometime soon, now that my style has changed somewhat

The Huntsman

The proverbial meat and potatoes of my OC roster. He has the most detailed story out of all of them, and he's one of my favorite OCs I've ever made <3

His name is Iskar, also known by his moniker as the Huntsman. He's the son of a dragon hunter who, after his father's fleet was burned down and pillaged by a mysterious warlord, was raised by the family of a blacksmith on a faraway island where dragons only exist in folktales.

Well, except for one...

Iskar's Night Fury, Warden, who was kept as a living trophy on his father's ship before it burned. Iskar formed a bond with the dragon, who then stole him away to save his life. The two of them have become inseperable, and Warden is part of the reason Iskar is feared across the Archipelago. As for the other reason...

Iskar also gets involved with Drago Bludvist, following a trail of rumors in an attempt to find his father again. Drago blackmails him into working for him, and Iskar becomes something like a personal attack dog and assassin for Drago. He earns himself a reputation and becomes a wives' tale across the Archipelago, and it isn't until he meets Hiccup, during Drago's siege on Berk, that he's convinced to take up arms against Drago and free himself. Iskar switches sides to help save Berk, gives Hiccup his own world map as a farewell gift, and returns home to his family after nearly 10 years.

In a sort of epilogue / theoretical second movie, Iskar takes his niece, Valorie, to Berk so she can learn to train dragons "the proper way". Needless to say, Berk is not very happy to see the man responsible for almost getting their island destroyed. Iskar acts as a translator between Valorie and the Berkians, as Valorie doesn't speak their language and Iskar does (on account of his travels with Drago), and through the course of their stay on the island, he successfully redeems himself in the eyes of the Berkian population.

Valorie

Okay she's not actually Iskar's niece. She's the daughter of Runar and Ylva, the blacksmith and his wife who originally raised Iskar, and the ones Iskar returned home to after he was free of Drago. They had her while Iskar was away working for Drago, and she was around 8 years old when he came back home, give or take. She grew up knowing him as Uncle Iskar, the globetrotter and explorer who occasionally came home to bring her cool presents.

She grew up with a Night Fury around the house, so naturally, she became fascinated by dragons and dragon riding- which Iskar definitely didn't help with, considering he engineered Warden's saddle to have a second seat right behind the rider's own.

She eventually bonds with a Stormcutter while studying under Berk's finest (Fishlegs), whom she names Windseeker.

Valhalla's Gate

Not a character, but an island Iskar discovers during his travels as a free man after Dragos defeat. Iskar is a cartographer by profession, thus the handcrafted world map he gifts Hiccup, which just so happens to contain directions to a hidden island Iskar has named Valhalla's Gate.

It's a dragon sanctuary through and through, built around and on the back of a sleeping Foreverwing which guards the island and all of its inhabitants. You can only approach the island on dragon back, similar to how you could only leave Vanaheim by smelling a certain way to trick the Sentinels in RTTE. A natural defense mechanism, if you will.

Iskar often takes detours on his travels to visit the island, and becomes well known by all the dragons that live on it. Hiccup also finds it thanks to Iskar's map, shortly after Berk rebuilds itself and Hiccup has to suddenly take on a lot of chiefly responsibilities- and what better way to deal with newfound responsibilities than to follow a mysterious map given to you by a guy who tried to kill you? Surely nothing can go wrong. Smile.

Conclusion

There's a lot more to say about all of them, but hopefully this about covers the important parts. I could go on about Ylva and Runar, Iskar's relationship with Eret and Hiccup, Dreamer's relationship with the Berkians, etc etc, but this reply is long enough already lol

I'm always happy to talk about my characters, so feel free to ask me stuff about them if you guys are interested! But, seeing as this is primarily an art request blog, I won't be talking about them much unless someone asks. That's what @wardenofdragons is for!

(He says, knowing full well he keeps forgetting to post on it)

Aphrodisiac with Nebula

A/N: Another Kinktober fic. Yippee!

This one’s written for the What If? Season 2 episode where Nebula’s a member of the Nova Corps. You don’t have to know the episode, but I do mention her being a part of the Nova Corps, so

Written with a gn!Reader in mind

Link to masterlist here

CW: established relationship; mentioned weaponized use of an aphrodisiac; making out; explicit sexual content; smut; dubcon bc of the aphrodisiac, but the consent would be there already; oral sex; Reader is not the one being fucked in this one; Nebula’s parts are AFAB; near overstimulation; ‘I love you’s; cuddling

711 words

“Hey, Nebs.”

No response.

You look up in confusion. You were sure you’d heard her come in. She always stops to give you a kiss as soon as she comes home.

But something about today feels different.

“Nebula?”

There’s a muffled sound from the bedroom. Worry spikes through you. With her job, you know there’s always a risk. Poison, injury, demotion. She’s a Nova Corps officer. The underground despises the Nova Corps. Anything could have happened.

“Nebs…?” You nudge the bedroom door open.

She’s curled on the bed, half naked. Shuddering and making soft whimpering sounds.

Your concern only increases. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

You sit on the edge of the bed, gently touching a hand to her arm. Her skin feels unnaturally warm.

She reacts immediately to your touch, letting out a soft gasp and grabbing your wrist. Yanking you down on top of her.

You yelp, landing awkwardly. But she pulls you up, sealing her mouth to yours in a bruising kiss. Even her mouth feels too warm.

“Fuck,” she breathes as she pulls back. “I need you.”

“Hey, hey, slow down!” You push yourself up, settling on her. “Nebs, what’s wrong? What happened? You’re burning up!”

She groans and grips your hips. “Someone hit me with something. I couldn’t identify it until it was already in my system.”

You cup her face, smoothing your thumbs over her cheeks. “Nebula. What were you hit with?”

“Some type of underground aphrodisiac.” She looks horrible, her face almost burning to the touch. She’s sweating so much, hips squirming under yours.

“An aphrodisiac… Like… Like the kind they just cracked down on?” You’d heard reports of the stuff. Too strong, lethal when used wrong. And the symptoms…

“No, not… Not that kind.” Her words come out a little slurred. She pulls you down for another kiss, moaning softly into your mouth. Her hands run across your body, feeling you up. “This one’s not as strong.”

You relax for a moment, returning the kiss. You make out for a few minutes, letting her touch you as she wants.

Slowly, you pull back, nuzzling your nose against hers. “What do you need, Nebs? I wanna help.”

“Mouth,” she whimpers. “I need your mouth.”

“Where?”

She guides you down. It’s not hard to guess from there.

You help her strip. She’s so sensitive, so noisy compared to her usual self. Just pulling off her clothes has her whining your name.

Maybe on a normal day, you’d tease her. Run your fingers through her slick folds and taste her at your leisure. But not today.

Today you get right to it, lapping up her slick with greedy enthusiasm. She tastes even better than normal; sweeter, but tangy. Like a fresh piece of fruit.

You revel in the taste, sucking and licking at her eagerly. She gasps and moans, gripping the sheets beneath her. You can feel the tension in her body, the way she’s so fiercely struggling not to squirm or move.

She wants to be good for you. She always does. It’s like a game for her. How long can she last before breaking?

Normally you’d play along. Let it play out how she wants. But right now, you’re just interested in the way she sounds. All breathy and needy. You’ve never heard your name said so wonderfully before.

You push her harder, sucking on her nub as you press two fingers into her hole. You grin at the way she clenches around you, finally cracking under the pleasure.

She squirms and arches, pressing further into your touch. You fuck her with your fingers even as you swirl your tongue around her nub.

She cums with a shriek of your name, gripping the sheets so tightly they rip. You don’t pull away immediately. Instead, you push her to the brink of overstimulation. Pulling back just before it gets to be too much.

You crawl up to cuddle her, pulling her into your arms. “You feeling better now?”

She’s panting softly, sweaty as all hell, but she’s no longer burning up. She nuzzles into your touch, letting out a soft sigh. “Yeah. All better.”

You kiss her forehead, rubbing your nose against hers. “I love you, Nebula.”

She relaxes against you, smiling slightly. “I love you too.”

[theplatypusblue]

Okokok dragons rising s2p2 REWATCH thingy it’s mostly me noticing small details and shit I missed the first time. Ramble-y at points lol

Many many big spoilers below (also it’s long)

Ok so like….. first episode it gets established that all the dragon tribes fall under the jurisdiction of each of the source dragons…. Neato. More world building shenanigans

WYLDFYRE PEAK YIPPEE. Nya said Lloyd was helping her with her precision, and there’s this really cute animation moment where’s she’s firing her flames like she’s shooting a gun lol

Ok so like Frak taught Arin how to make Merlopian Berry Crème pie…. Frak is merlopian question mark(?) (I don’t think it makes sense timeline wise lol don’t listen to me)

I like the scene of Zane training it reminds me a little bit of that scene from all the back in s1 where’s he’s just tuning everybody out

So like the tournament thingy takes place at the same spot as that flashback with Wu and Bonzle in season 1 (maybe?) I wonder why Wu was hanging out there so long ago lol. (I mean lily might have been at the last one too but like who knows)

ROBY PEAK!!!! My only issue with him and Bleckt is that I wish the writers would’ve really hammed up the comedy between the two. Made them just completely unserious. Would’ve made Bleckts betrayal a little more impactful maybe. (Imagine a bunch of goofy cartoony gags between the two, only for the eventual reveal that bleckt actually genuinely wants roby dead. Woulda been crazier)

Ok so seven headed source dragon thingy. It’s either symbolism like roby said or we are eventually gonna build up to an ultra-dragon adjacent situation. Somehow. Idk how. But maybe it would be cool

Ok random thought. I think it’s pretty clear at this point that elemental powers come from and are associated w the source dragons. You can extrapolate the connections (fire and heat come from motion, plants is probably from life, etc). I think you can remedy the whole “the new elemental powers are stupid” thing by thinking about them more as the elements of the source they are associated with , rather than elemental powers in the traditional sense of our world (If that distinction makes sense lol idk how to explain it non-stupidly. It’s just a matter of framing)

That being said, I really like zant-tanz lol I think it’s his voice teehee. Silly whimsical snail man. Shame he had to get kicked out but then again…. He had some rock stacking to do at home

Ok ok ok I think some parts of the Jay fight are kinda lame (“and I will always hate you” 🙄) but things make more sense from jays perspective I think. Imagine you’re coming from a place where everyone devalued ur individuality and didn’t care abt you as a person, and then you come to this tournament where ur opponent (who ur literally fighting against in this ~tournament~) suddenly starts telling you you’re the love of their life n stuff (and ur also being manipulated but besides that even). I would also just assume that they’re being weird and try to kick their ass.

“Not sure I can pull it off… it’s arriving too soon” what exactly was Wu trying to pull off lol? crazy theory time 100% NOT real NOT going to happen: Wu is trying to bring someone (I’m betting his dad) back from the dead, cuz like departed realm shenanigans and the merge maybe. But we also don’t really know how departed realm stuff works yet, so there’s not much we can extrapolate from there. Idk.

I’m sorry but I always think it’s really cool when cinder bounces people around like a basketball teehee. He’s a very fun character to watch during fights.

Similar-ish point to my Jay spiel from 2 seconds ago but like. Arin’s convo w Frak abt how shatterspin is super evil actually makes me laugh a little bit. Cuz Arins going on about like “oh dude it ~~shatters your goodness~~ you can’t ever do shatterspin�� and internally Frak is like “is this guy actually fr” lmao. On my first watch through I was literally like “Arin stop you sound so fucking brainwashed rn” shfjfjjfkfkgkgla

Ok ok so Ras wanted all the elemental powers so he could get a dragon icon somehow…. Lloyd just got his gifted to him tho. (Might be another matter of force vs harmony — you can either do all the hard work to get all the powers and make ur own icon, or the source dragons will just like. Give you an icon. If ur cool enough or whatever)

Dragon Ivory stores powers, dragon horns can give u power but then they make u angry or smthn… dragon ivory can also be used to communicate w the nether space….... hhhrrrnnngg dragon lore im trying to make it make sense in my brain hrrrnngg

Frak is so nice and respectful he’s such a good guy lol (I have to DRAW HIM. Being COOL. Because he IS. I’ll get to it eventually)

Small nitpick but like. The way the tournament is organized kinda makes no sense….. cuz all the plot relevant fights involving the ninja happen at the beginning, so they’ve been in multiple fights and get multiple powers. Then there’s a montage of them fighting other elemental masters who only have one power. So the whole thing is actually completely unbalanced and unfair. Turns out Roby does suck at organizing tournaments lol

God that one shot of nokt running at the camera hunting the arc dragon is so fucking perfect the colors are just mmmmmmhhhh so good I gotta redraw it I gotta redraw it so baddddddddhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhh the final couple of fights the composition and the coreography were sooooo good we are backkkkkk we are soooooooooo backkkkkkkkkkk

TLDR: I remember it being good and then I rewatched it and it was still good. Yayyyyyyyy

our love is god [ethan landry] pt. 2

read part 1 here || all parts

pairing: ethan landry x fem!reader

warnings: light angst, mention of drugs/alcohol

a/n: hey, thanks for all the love on the last part! i promise I'm not churning these out like crazy lol, i wrote the first chapter way before posting it here. not a lot of ethan in this one because we have to flesh out the lore, but i make up for it with some tara/sam angst! yippee!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I can’t believe it. I actually can’t believe it.” Chad’s eyes are wide with amazement. “Y/N, at a loss for words? Because of a guy?”

“Dude, I’m telling you, it happened!” Tara said.

I was beginning to get tired of this back and forth. 

Friday nights were usually fun, the whole gang gathered in Tara’s room, getting ready for the night’s festivities (in this case, a house party at the Woodsboro Community College), but today, my friends seemed more interested in rehashing today’s lunchtime events.

“Do you know what his name was?” Anika asks.

“Oh god, please don’t egg them on,” I groan. “No, I didn’t catch it.”

“Hey, he didn’t throw it, either,” Tara teases. “He was probably just as nervous. The dude could barely even make eye contact with her.”

Chad sits up on Tara’s bed. “What did you say he looked like?”

“Uh, tall, really tall. Curly brown hair? He was new, I’d never seen him before. And neither had Tara, so don’t chalk it up to my being a newcomer.”

“Wait. Oh my god.” Mindy suddenly chimes in. “I know who he is. His name is Ethan Landry, he’s in my American History.”

I can’t lie; I’m excited by this. “Really? Why haven’t we seen him before?”

“Because he just moved here.” She grins. “Hey, I thought you’d given up on high school boys, anyway.”

I tinge pink. “Never say never, I guess?”

Chad and Tara whoop. Anika rolls her eyes at them. “Do you think he’ll be there tonight?”

I scoff. “I doubt it. We already have to lie about being college students to get in, anyway.”

Tara’s eyes glimmer. “Hey, you never know. That means you have to get extra dressed up for tonight, just in case he’s there.”

I am not prepared for one of Tara’s evil-genius machinations, especially not a makeover. But I entertain the fantasy for a second too long, and she takes my silence as agreement. 

That’s how I find myself in one of Tara’s old dresses, a strappy black thing that hangs too low on my chest for my liking. After fighting over it for a long while, she eventually agrees to add a long-sleeved top underneath, if only to stop my whining.

Yet even though my getting-ready process was the most involved, I’m still the first one downstairs, which is typical. I’m debating whether or not to run for the hills and go home when Sam comes through the front door.

“Oh, hey, Y/N. Is Tara upstairs?” She sets down a few bags of groceries and turns to lock the four deadbolts freshly nailed to the door. 

“Hey, Sam. Yeah, she is. I think everyone will be down soon.”

There’s an uncomfortable energy between us. Sam has never liked me much. Not because of my character or anything, as Tara has reassured me, but she’s overly wary of outsiders ever since last year’s attack. I try not to blame her, but I can’t help but feel a little hurt when she keeps her distance, giving me a once-over instead of asking about my day.

The tension is broken when I hear the rest of the gang come down the stairs. Sam smiles when she sees Tara, but it fades when she notices that we’re all dressed up. “Hey, Tar, where are you guys going tonight?”

Tara shifts her weight from foot to foot. “My friend at Woodsboro Community College offered us an in, so… we’re taking advantage of our youth?”

Sam’s face darkens. “No. No way, Tar. You remember the last time someone had a party around here? We nearly died.”

“Jesus Christ, Sam,” Tara groans. “You were out of my life for five years now you can’t let me be alone for five minutes..”

I look at Chad, uncomfortable. He slightly shakes his head at me– better not to interfere.. Still, I feel like I have to say something. “Hey, Tara, maybe she’s right, we could just–”

Tara whips around to glare at me. “You’ve got to be kidding, Y/N. Butt the fuck out.” Her words sting, but I step back and sit on the couch.

“I’m not interested in living in the fucking past, Sam,” she continues. “I’m not gonna let what happened to me for three days define me for the rest of my life.”

Sam is quiet. I expect her to snap, to yell at all of us, but she just stares at Tara for a few seconds.

Finally, she picks up her bag again. “Alright. Fine. Go to the party, bring your taser, or not, I don’t care. I won’t be here when you get back.”

Tara’s eyes widen. “Wait, Sam. Wait. I’m sorry, I–”

“No, it’s really fine.” She glances around the room, where the rest of us are trying to blend into the shadows. “I hope you guys have fun. If some psycho killer tries to get you, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

With that, she marches upstairs, and I hear her bedroom door slam and lock. 

No one knows what to say. Tara turns her back, and I see her wiping away angry tears. Without looking at us, she opens the front door. “Okay! Who’s ready?”

“Tara, are you sure that’s a good idea?” Anika says. “We can stay back if you want, I mean–”

“Nope! What I want is to get so shit-faced I don’t remember this conversation. Let’s go.”

My stomach still feels hollow, but I silently follow Tara out of the door. Anika and Mindy follow close behind. 

Chad takes a second before making up his mind. He grabs his keys. “Yeah, okay. Let’s go, then.”

Just A Project | II

Nathan Prescott x Reader

Masterlist

Parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Warnings: slightly ooc nathan, swearing obvi

Words: 1.1k

A/N: (edit) This edit added like 300 words so yippee!

I’m in my last class of the day, Chemistry. Trust me, I love Mrs. Grant and all, but she rambles way too much. She’s holding dismissal…  and has been for 10 minutes. ‘Don’t be late.’ Nathan’s words ring in my ears, Mrs.Grant’s ramblings long forgotten. Please let me out of here. And like God himself heard my plea, Mrs. Grant finally let up. “Okay kids, go do whatever you kids do these days. And stay safe!” The entire class let out a sigh of relief, and happily left her room. 

As I’m walking out I run into someone. “Oh, I’m so sorry.” I apologize, as we bumped into each other pretty hard. The other person speaks with a bit of a chuckle, “Nah, It’s all good.” I immediately recognize the voice, and look up at them. “Warren! Hey.” I greet him properly. I’m actually pretty good friends with Warren, he’s a nice guy, plus he always helps with my Chem work. Not to mention that he has the biggest crush on our mutual friend, Max. Which I help him with in return for the Chem help.

“How are you, Y/N? You look kind of stressed.” He says in that caring tone, always genuine. “Sorry Warren, I’m just in a bit of a hurry.” He nods in understanding. “I gotta meet up with someone, for a photography project.” I continue, and Warren says, “Oh alright, I won’t keep you hostage then.” He jokes. “I just wanted to ask you real quick if you wanted to borrow my drive.” I look at him a little confused not understanding why I would want to borrow a flash drive. He must’ve noticed my confusion because he starts to explain. “It’s just got a bunch of movies on it, you know the classics. None of that new age crap with no plot.” My face lights up with clarity. I nod and say, “Actually, yeah that’ll be great.” Warren looks pleased and tells me he’ll drop it off at my dorm soon. We say bye and head our separate ways. I’m now 15 minutes late. God, Nathan’s gonna be pissed.

As I was making my way to the boys dorms, I was oh so lucky to stumble across Deputy Dildo, AKA Mr. Madsen. “Young lady, what on earth are you doing on the boy’s dorm campus?!” His usual shouts tick me off as I’m already late to meeting Nathan, and I really don’t wanna hear his bitching. I stop in my tracks and let hous a dramatic huff, “I have a project to do. For Mr. Jefferson.” I say innocently. “I don’t care if you have a project. You are not allowed to be here. Whoever your partner is can wait.” He said smugly, clearly not letting up. 

‘Whoever your partner is can wait.’ Madsen’s words looped through my thoughts. An idea came to me, I’ll smack that smirk right off his face. “Actually, I’m already late, and Nathan Prescott does not like to be kept waiting.” I made sure to put on a reall snooty tone just to play the part to its fullest potential. With my own sly smirk, I watch the color drain from his face. “I apologize. Go ahead.” He moves out of my way with his head down in embarrassment. Maybe Nathan does come with a few perks. I make my way into the building, starting my journey to find his room.

—————————————————————

As I’m walking down the 2nd floor hall of the boys dorms, I look at my watch. Great, I'm 30 minutes late and I still haven't found this boy’s dorm. I keep walking looking at all the white boards when I see one that particularly stands out. The white board reads, ‘The Prescotts Own You!!’. Yeah- okay, so not obvious at all. I hold my breath as I knock on the door a couple of times. Nothing. I sigh for a moment, thinking I was totally screwed. I raise my fist to knock again, but before I’m able to, the door swings open with a blank faced expression on Nathan’s face. 

I drop my hand, embarrassed, and albeit, a little scared. “You’re late. I told you to not be late.” He sounds pissed, but his face doesn’t show it. He lets me in nonchalantly, plopping down on his couch. Honestly out of pure embarrassment and fear I start rambling at him, “I’m really sorry, genuinely. First Mrs. Grant held dismissal, talking about god knows what! Probably some chemical discovery she heard on the radio,” I pause awkwardly to point to Nathan with a cocked eyebrow, “which pro tip, dont listen to the radio. Then I ran into someone, and had to have a somewhat awkward and rushed conversation, and then Deputy Dickhole gave me a hard time getting up here with his stupid mustache. I mean come on man get a life! Not to mention I was roaming the campus for way too fucking long trying to find your room.” I say in one big breath, letting out a sigh. 

Nathan just kind of looked at me with this blank expression but somehow I could tell exactly what he was thinking. I shriveled up in my position standing in front of him, properly embarrassed about how I just dumped all of that on him. Clearly he doesn’t give a fuck. A few beats of silence before Nathan raises his eyebrows with his mouth slightly parted like hes tryin gto find something to say. He just shakes his head and mumbles a “Yeah okay whatever.”

I just kind of stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Looking down at my feet shyly, a million thoughts racing in my mind. I fucked this up, he hates me and is gonna make this project a living hell for me. My thoughts get interrupted by Nathan’s voice. “Sit.” He said. “Right..” I say shyly, and I sit down beside him. I take a moment to take in his room, very dark, and monochrome. Pictures of obscure and abstract visuals hang on his walls. Some of which are his own work, others aren’t. He has some sort of fancy projector set up. An interest in film maybe? 

Anyway, I turn my attention back to Nathan, and to my surprise, he’s already looking at me. He doesn’t break eye contact, not immediately anyways. After a second he looks away. “So, we just gotta take a few pictures of each other.” He says coolly. “And two environmental shots.” I gently corrected. “Whatthefuckever.” He pressed. “Listen I already don’t wanna do this, so let’s just hurry up and get this over with.” He stands up grabbing one of his many cameras, messing with the settings. I have a feeling tonight's gonna be a long night.

It's Showtime! - June 2024 Devlog

Howdy! Cobalt here, for another devlog over It's Showtime. This month was actually really swell, especially since I got more of my adhd meds recently. So I should be getting way more done in the coming months, yippee!

Programming wise, not a lot was done this month I've mostly spent it changing a few things about the way the map is built. Particularly I'm gonna need to rebuild most of the first floor. However in the long run it should be for the better, for stuff like performance and making it easier to add more to it. I also just needed a break after all I did last month. I have created things like the base for the main menu, a proper testing room and a lot of coding for the cut scene system though!

Writing wise, a ton of progress was made. Most of the major writing for Chapter 1 is done! Or at least on a great first draft. So very soon Chapter 1 will be done writing wise. [For the record currently the in depth writing for Chapter 1 is 7,122 words long] Chapter 2 also had a significant amount of its in depth writing done, almost all of the 'intro' is written out but obviously I'm trying to focus more on Chapter 1 right now. Speaking of the other chapters and such. Chapter 2's summary is almost done, with some things just needing some elaborating or bridging with other parts of it. Chapter 3 has 3 thousand words written in its summary currently, so a lot of what goes on in that chapter has been written out. I recently had a ton of revelations about what is going to happen in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 has also had a lot added to its summary. Sadly, writing wise, I simply cannot reveal much more without getting into spoilers.

I've also been learning Blender a lot lately. I'm working on a few models, none of them for It's Showtime quite yet. [well besides the walls and floors for the first floor] However soon I'm gonna be trying to make Henry's first model and animations for the game. Probably won't be the final one used for the project, or even the one you'll see upon chapter 1's release, but we'll see. Sadly, a lot of this process is simply tutorials and looking things up, then double checking those things to make sure they can be used in Unity, aren't performance heavy and will work with the systems I've already got in place. Art wise, me and my partner have gotten a lot of fun concept art done.

We've also started a sketchbook purely for Encore! related drawings. We've got so much fun stuff to show you guys when more is done, but for now, I'd love to show off a proper look at Henry's design.

Here we have Henry's reference, specifically for his in-game appearance.

The sketchy reference made for modeling him out. Yes, he is tastefully nude in this appearance. That's just the way it has to be.

Then finally a rough run cycle I animated to show off his character and as practice for when the proper 3D gets made. I'm really proud of how this came out and I hope it gives you guys a good idea for what to expect from him character-wise. As always, feel free to ask any questions about this project and its story if you'd like. I'll do my best to answer them without giving too much away! See you next month!

GUESS WHO'S ON TIME (FOR ONCE) BABYYY

PART 11 YIPPEE

"issa pwobwem :("

"thats one small step for- bshhhh youre just squished"

"its the death particle"

"youre no longer an NPC"

"the program shoots out millions of neutrinos and when its your time... the simulation's over"

"THE VALLEY GIRLS???"

"if he didnt like you hed just,, squish your grandpa"

"youre not gettin any bed tonight."

"yeah we go through 'em [dogs] really quick,,,"

"i went walking with my dog one morning.. well. previous dog."

"ssssssswear word."

okokok this next whole part is fucking wild alright

ok so i told disc about this but. essentially about half way through the period he gets a two second phone call, he says "alright cool" and hangs up. we ask him what its about, he says dont worry about it. and, like a guy who says not to worry, he fucking bolts into the chemical room, we hear shit falling over, crashes, banging, he comes back in, continues the lesson like normal

at some point hes like "alright, so-" and fucking walks out the door. he congregates with the other science teachers. he walks back in the room, takes shit from the corners, throws em around the place

we're all fucking losing our damn minds at this point. because who wouldnt be.

then, after a good. 10 minutes of this. the damn FIRE MARSHALL WALKS IN THE DOOR

and we're like???? dude???? why tf didnt you just tell us????

and they go straight to the chemical room and, ok for context we're not allowed to have food or drinks on our desks bc. science room. but like five kids have their water bottles. so as fucking soon as they close the door behind them, we immediately form a student water bottle brigade and toss them on the counter, where theyre supposed to be, and go back to looking like nothing happened as they walk back in

dude it was fucking wild and so damn funny oml

anyways more quotes

(in response to what he's asking for for christmas) "ammunition. to keep students away."

him: "a chimp is strong enough to rip your arms off."

student: "prove it"

him: "PROVE IT??? oh yeah like im gonna slather myself in peanut butter and jump into a chimp enclosure. (there was also smth abt a banana but i missed it :/)"

"cmon wheeler. thats saaaaad."

"got any acid for me grandpa?"

:)

[hiding-under-the-willow]

oooh ok LaHoF questions

1. what was the first scene you came up with? (im pretty sure it was . well. the house on fire. but just in case.) (and if it was where did you go from there/what did you think of next?)

2. how did you come up with the idea did something inspire you or did it just spontaneously appear in your mind one fateful day or what?

3. what is your favorite part(s) ?

YIPPEE!!! These are such good questions man

1. The first scene i came up with was actually the tent scene from the first chapter! The fire came next, the rest of it came from me trying to figure out how to link those two scenes and build on the themes and deciding where the story would go after that. I think the deep dark thing was the third thing that came up. Oh, fun fact! The chapter with Wels and Hypno, the one where Wels and Hels have their fight out in the nether, didn't exist in the original story outline! I got to that point in the writing process and went 'no wait there's something missing here' and ended up with that like 7500 chapter which helped immensely with pulling everything together for that bit of the story.

2. Okay. This is the point at which I let you all in on a little secret. At least half of the things I write start off as Zeph storylines in my head. The tent scene was originally thought up as an encounter between Hels and Zeph, bc I was interested in like the idea of what would happen if a hermit were to mistake him for Wels, how he would use that opportunity. Zeph is like my little test dummy I throw scenarios at them and sometimes I take one of those scenarios and extract the themes out of it and go 'oh actually this would be incredibly compelling with this character instead'. Which is exactly what happened with that tent scene.

I had always kind of wanted to explore Hels and Beef's dynamic before this since it isn't explored in canon and tbh is kind of ignored by a lot of fic writers, but this was the only idea I had which had ever really compelled me in that department. It was like watching the puzzle pieces all fall into place at once it was great. The fire also came very naturally. I've always had an association between Hels and fire, and the idea of him burning one of the hermits' bases has always kind of been living rent free in my head bc of his whole 'I am going to destroy this place and everything you hold dear' mentality. It's something that's bounced around in Zeph storylines, and a series of dreams I had a few years ago that a few old followers might remember me posting about, but this was my first good opportunity to put it to paper in a way that was narratively fulfilling. Something about the season 10 setting just really lended itself to this narrative and I don't know how to explain it but it is quite literally the easiest a fully formed storyline has ever popped into my head in my life.

3. The chapter 3 deep dark scene is so everything to me. The fire as well is obviously beloved in many ways. There are a million little character moments i could name that drive me personally insane. I actually fucking loved writing Beef's dream flashback to the cloning machine from the fire chapter? Something about taking the actual events and dialog from his video and recontextualizing it was so satisfying. I love artistic recontextualization!!!! Then there's a chapter coming up soon. That i am very excited to write. To say the least. I've had a draft of the dialog sitting around in my notes for months. There is an illustration already done for it that I can not wait to post as well.

[flowerpotmage]

mist & rue

It is night in a new world, and you've lost a dear friend.

notes & etc: reader, lee scoresby, and john parry. oneshot. HDM series. canon compliant with events of book 2. ambiguous relationships. angst!! more writer commentary at the end. 584 words. on Ao3 here

It’s unreasonable to have expected your choices to take you down any other path than this. You were always going to find yourself here.

Mist touches your skin, permeating through the relatively thin layers of your clothing and down through to your bones. You’d like to say that the cold air numbs your distress, shocks you enough to calm down and jolt out of it, but… truthfully, it has little effect on why you’re here, crying and swallowing shaky gulps of air with your arms around yourself and a silver turquoise ring in your fist. You don’t notice the osprey dæmon that soars overhead.

The soft sound of familiar footsteps draws another shuddering breath into your lungs, your hand wiping shaky and surreptitiously—you hope—at your cooling tears. You want to greet him, as you normally would, but you know your voice would betray you. Although, if he’s here right now, he already knows, and you’re taking much too long to say anything anyhow, and he’d be an idiot not to know anyway—

He comes to a stop near your shoulder.

“I hope you don’t mind,” he says in that smooth, enigmatically charming voice of his. “Sayan saw you, and I thought you might appreciate an ear.”

Your dry chuckle is exceptionally soggy, and you take a deep breath to steady yourself, breathing it out through your lips with closed eyes.

“Jopari,” you greet, looking out at the foreign stars. “It has been an exceptionally trying time. I don’t think I was ready.”

“Ah,” he says, and you can hear the rueful smile in the sound. “I don’t think most of us are.”

You turn to look at him over your shoulder. “John.”

You’ve come to know him well over these last years. Sayan can journey far, that’s true, but even a shaman with a witches dæmon is reluctant to part too far with their own very self, and shamans and witches alike need unassuming individuals to be their knowing eyes and hands in far off lands. None of you would never have gotten this far otherwise. So you understand immediately.

“You knew Lee would…” your throat closes up on the words.

“I did. I'm sorry.”

The tears come fresh, the heat of the saltwater on your face due to more than mere thermodynamics. It’s as if the anger at the man by your side is finding the only escape it can, through the water of your eyes, leaving room for growing dismay.

“Come back to the camp,” he says, nothing but gentle. “You’ll catch cold and we’ve a ways to go yet.”

You turn away again, looking down at the small furry body of your dæmon by your boot.

“Ah, so I will be continuing on further?” You regret the spiteful comment as soon as it leaves your mouth.

“This is not the world you’ll stop in,” John Parry says, cryptic as ever.

You turn to face him, the stones making their small sounds underfoot. He looks at you, sharp eyes apologetic. “I know you were close with Mr. Scoresby,” he says. “If there had been another way—”

“Then we wouldn’t win, in the end, would we?”

One side of his mouth lifts, once again rueful.

You sigh, and nod. The two of you walk back to your small, humble camp, and John, Jopari, Stanislaus Grumman and all his names, sits with you in silence by the fire. Before you know it, he will be dead, and you will be left behind to tell his son about him.

---------------------------------

i have sooo much fun facts about this reader in my head all of a sudden. in my mind they were a little bit in love with lee (a longtime friend) and john (platonically? romantically? we'll never know about either of these for either fella and neither will they bc theyre kinda messed up about it all!!) and they work with john and the witches towards asriel's big plan to Kill God. yippee!!
